                                   RE:  H.B. No. 1939
                                        H.D. 1
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B.
No. 1939, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO KAHOOLAWE ISLAND RESERVE
     COMMISSION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to enable the Kahoolawe Island
Reserve Commission to hire its own attorneys.

     Your Committee finds that the legal needs of the Commission
in areas that are specialized and technical necessitates granting
it the flexibility of retaining attorneys other than those
assigned by the Department of the Attorney General.  This type of
flexibility will allow speedy response to legal questions and
better enable the Commission to perform its duties with dispatch.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1939, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.


 
a                                                     HB1939 SD1
